Meet our New Assistant Professor Kyle Vining
Dr. Kyle Vining’s lab at Penn Dental Medicine and Penn Engineering develops new biomaterials for tissue regeneration and investigates mechanical regulation of stromal cells and innate immune cells in fibrotic niches. His lab employs material strategies to manipulate and study cell behavior in a broad range of physiologic and disease contexts, including dentin regeneration, hematopoietic […]
Meet our New Assistant Professor Christopher Madl
After beginning his research career in materials chemistry, Christopher has come to exemplify the interdisciplinary nature of research at Penn MSE. He applies a multifaceted strategy, drawing on protein engineering, bioorthogonal chemistries, and stem cell biology, to understand how interactions between cells and their surrounding polymeric meshwork, the extracellular matrix, contribute to the loss of tissue function […]
